As The Ring first reported, a pair of super middleweights will co-headline PBC Championship Boxing on Prime Video as WBA interim-super middleweight champion Caleb Plant takes on Mexican knockout artist Armando Reséndiz and undefeated two-division champion Jermall Charlo battles veteran contender Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna on Saturday, May 31 from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
The lineup will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and stream exclusively on Prime Video for all Prime members in the United States and select countries.
Plant and Charlo will look for victories on May 31 to set up a 168-pound grudge match and settle their feud in the ring after years of call outs and a viral dust-up that nearly saw the fighters come to blows.
Plant (23-2, 14 KOs) recently vanquished the hard-hitting Trevor McCumby last September, bouncing back from a flash knockdown to stop McCumby in round nine.
“I’ve been quietly grinding with my team since my last fight, and just like always, I’ve left no stone unturned in my preparation,” said Plant. “No setback and no amount of money or success can change the love I have for boxing or change my competitive spirit to be a winner. On May 31 I’m coming to put on a show and leave no doubt that I’m one of the best in the world.”
The 26-year-old Reséndiz (15-2, 11 KOs) was unbeaten in his first 12 fights after turning pro in 2018, showing impressive power with an eight-fight knockout streak. After coming up on the short end of a decision to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021, Reséndiz was impressive in stopping the former unified world champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10th-round of their March 2023 matchup. A native of Nayarit, Mexico, Reséndiz dropped a decision to top middleweight Elijah Garcia in September 2023, before most recently bouncing back to earn a fifth-round TKO of Fernando Paliza this February.
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity on May 31,” said Reséndiz. “I’m thankful to be in a great fight once again, this time against a former world champion in the main event of a stellar night of boxing. I know this is going to be a tough fight, but I will prepare as hard as I possibly can to win and dedicate this win to my beloved Mexico.”
